Summary

Introduction and Congratulations

Inspect for Shipping Damage

Check loudspeakers for any visible or concealed damage upon receipt and report immediately to your dealer or shipper.

Connecting Your Loudspeakers

Ensure Correct Phase Connection

Connect red (+) terminals to red (+) and black (-) terminals to black (-) on amplifier to ensure speakers are in phase for optimal bass.

Avoid Amplifier Distortion

Driving the amplifier too loud can cause distortion. Turn down the volume or use a more powerful amplifier if speakers distort.

Spiking Your Loudspeakers

Spike Installation and Adjustment

Install spikes by screwing them into the T-nuts after removing plastic guides. Adjust to ensure stability and tilt speakers back for optimal sound.

Speaker Break-In

Break-In Period and Benefits

Allow 20-40 hours of playing for suspensions to settle, resulting in fuller bass, improved midrange, and smoother highs for full performance.

Room Positioning and Setup

Rear Wall Placement

Place speakers 6-12 inches from the rear wall to allow rear radiation to reflect, affecting bass output. Experiment for best results.

Side Wall and Speaker Spacing

Position speakers 6-8 feet apart, away from side walls. Spacing should be half the wall length, with speakers quarter the back wall length from side walls.

Speaker Angling and Surround Use

Angle speakers towards the listening position for brighter sound. Can be used as rear or side surround speakers with specific placement guidelines.
